Shockercito celebrated his title defense. Have we considered the possibility CMLL is trying to improve Mascara 2000’s rating as a wrestler by surrounding him with some extremely challenging partners? I can’t think of another reason that match happened. Whatever the deal was with Atlantis Jr. disappearing for a few weeks obviously isn’t slowing down his march of victories upon his return.

PWInsider posted a list of talent expected for the AAA press conference on Thursday. I’ll save you a link: AAA wants to get anyone with AAA affiliation who is working in New York on WrestleMania weekend on that press conference. If they’re not there, it is probably just a matter of being unable to rework their travel plans in time (and having to rework travel plans can tell you a little bit about the lead time here.) I was thinking of reworking my flight because it seemed very important to try to get into a AAA press conference at MSG (assuming I’m allowed in!) but then I found out the change fee was $200+ and it was suddenly not very important to me. You can all let me know what happens. Or just make things up, it’ll be hard to tell at this point.

Velasquez on the card is going to drive interest and sell some tickets. Blue Demon Jr. and Dr. Wagner Jr. is going to drive interest and sell some tickets and might also be dramatically good. I would like the next TripleMania match to be announced just to be something that is good in line with the rest of AAA’s TV though, even if it is not going to drive interest or sell tickets.

Canal Space posted one of their occasional AAA documentaries, “La Vida de Lucha“. It appears to be exactly what it says, various people talking about the life of being a luchador. El Mexicano is in there mentioned as an AAA trainer; that’s what everyone figured when he showed up on some spot lineups but AAA doesn’t mention their trainers much. There’s also a Dr. Maligno in there who looks like indie wrestler Golden. A lot of the footage feels like it may be from last year but they do have a vignette with an Eclipse who looks like a lot like the Eclipse Vengador Jr. from Rey de Reyes so maybe not.
